usfm2osis.py is posted now, at
http://www.crosswire.org/svn/sword-tools/trunk/modules/python/

It was developed on/for CPython 2.7.3, but 2.6+ should work. PyPy works fine too, but takes more than twice as long to run. And Jython is not supported at all.

The utility is not perfect & the code itself is a little messy at the moment, but it's much better than its Perl equivalent when it comes to generating valid OSIS. Every USFM tag in the 2.35 reference is processed in some way, but processing of only a fraction of the tags has been tested. (That's my next task.)

The command line syntax from the Perl equivalent can be used. Or use -h for the usage statement. In general, using the '-v -r' switches will be most common, I expect.

This utility is a bit slower than the Perl script was. Converting the WEB from USFM to OSIS takes about 7.5s on my system with 4 vCPUs, where the Perl script took about 4s as a single thread. But the Python version has the benefit of generating valid markup. (The script will fork as many processes as you have vCPUs, up to the number of books you are converting.)

Bug reports are welcome if you try it, but this is still largely untested stuff, so expect bugs.


The other script in the above directory can be used to identify all of the USFM tags used in a set of files and will specify which of them are unknown to the USFM 2.35 reference.
